[Solved] SetFocus on Editor Content Area

[meyammai]

I have radeditor in my user control (MyRadEditor.ascx) and im loading this control in another user control (PrintView). i have written setfocus in the ascx page of MyRadEditor

<

script type="text/javascript">

function SetFocusOnRadEditor(clientId)

{

var editor = $find(clientId); //get a reference to RadEditor client object

editor.setFocus();

//set the focus on the the editor

}

</

script>

 when i place the button in  MyRadEditor and onclick of the button , if i call the script, then its perfect . cursor focussed into the editor content area. but when i call the function on the load of editor, nothing rendered.

any way to call the set focus function when the editor loaded. our project is with DNN

Hi Meyammai,

Try to set the focus using the editor's OnClientLoad event - see the code bellow:

<script type="text/javascript">
   function SetFocusOnRadEditor(editor, args)
   {
       editor.setFocus();
   }
</script>

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" OnClientLoad="SetFocusOnRadEditor"></telerik:RadEditor>

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Thanks. I tried this function But it doesnt help. I dint get any error and also cursor is not focussed in the editor text area.

Could you pls help

Hi Meyammai,

Could you please, set a timeout to the SetFocus method - note that, the page lifecycle requires the ASCX to be initialized before the ASPX?

In addition to this, please, find attached my test page.
